Customers ran out of the Mcdonald's on Santa Barbara Boulevard in Cape Coral after seeing a man pull out a gun.

"A fight is one thing but when you bring in an actual weapon and all that. That's a totally different story," Stephen Ciferri said.

He recorded the whole thing last Monday. He said two workers started yelling and it turned physical fast.

"He walked up in there and next thing you know they started rolling around in the back," Ciferri said.

In front of customers, the two begin to wrestle as another employee yells for them to stop.

"As they were fighting, the bigger dude pulled out the gun and started hitting him with the gun," Ciferri said.

He kept recording until the men stopped wrestling, then he took off.

"Obviously I didn't want to get shot. We're trying to go to Mcdonald's and, you know, not end our lives," he said.

Ciferri said workers were more worried about covering up the fight than about his safety.

"They were yelling at us. They were cussing at us to stop recording," he said.

But the video did get out, getting more than 4,000 views in a week.

It also got the attention of the Mcdonald's owner who tells us in a statement:

''The two people involved in the altercation on 1/1 are no longer employed by my organization. Customer and employee safety are our top priority, and we have zero tolerance for violence and weapons at our restaurant - inside and out.''

NBC2 reached out to Cape Coral Police who say they went to that McDonald's but no one made a report and no one was arrested.
